So, the Dr. Seuss in me wanted to call this post:

Falafels are {not}Awful…

Falafels

Oh, well…

But seriously… I’ve tried and tried to make real Falafels, and, believe me, dear ones… They are ALWAYS AWFUL.

Like, stink-in-the-stank SKUNKS…

But, Hallelujah.. I found a mix.  A mix that has {if you believe the label} nothing bad for me in it…

A-MAZ-ING…

All you have to do is add water and let it sit for 30 minutes to thicken.

Then pan fry… OK. It says to”deep-fry”, but I don’t do that…

I just pan-fry those little golden nuggets of yumminess.

Pan Frying Falafels

MMMMMmmmmm…..

Laid them on a bed of fresh greens and topped them with some store-bought Tzatziki Dill Sauce.

I ate ‘em up… Morgan ate ‘em up… well, he ate them up so fast, he left the burnt ones for his children…

And then tried to hide the fact by turning them over on their pretty sides…

So, tonight, the boys and I went back to Kroger for some Milk… and we got some more Falafel Mix..

TWO boxes.  And we’re going to make them for lunch, when Morgan isn’t here to steal all the fresh, hot, golden nuggets of yumminess away…

Boojah.

<aside>Did you notice that the people at Ziyad spell the word ‘falafel’ with an ‘i’ ?  Just pondering that…</aside>

And no, this is NOT a sponsored post.  This is just me finding something awesome to share with you….  My Sweet Bleeps.

But, if you can make awesome home-made Falafels that are not awful… maybe you could teach me…
